.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBaddstr()\fR function writes a null-terminated string of multi-byte
characters to the \fBstdscr\fR window at the current cursor position. The
\fBwaddstr()\fR function performs an identical action, but writes the
character to the window specified by \fIwin\fR.  The \fBmvaddstr()\fR and
\fBmvwaddstr()\fR functions write the string to the  position indicated by the
\fIx\fR (column) and \fIy\fR (row) parameters (the  former to the \fBstdscr\fR
window; the latter to window \fIwin\fR).
.sp
.LP
The \fBaddnstr()\fR, \fBwaddnstr()\fR, \fBmvaddnstr()\fR, and
\fBmvwaddnstr()\fR functions are similar but write at most \fIn\fR characters
to the window. If \fIn\fR is less than 0, the entire string is written.
.sp
.LP
All of these functions advance the cursor after writing the string.
.sp
.LP
These functions are functionally equivalent to calling the corresponding
function from the \fBaddch\fR(3XCURSES) set of functions once for each
character in  the string.  Refer to the \fBcurses\fR(3XCURSES) man page for a
complete description of  special character handling and of the interaction
between the window rendition (or background character and rendition) and the
character written.
.sp
.LP
Note that these functions differ from the \fBaddchstr()\fR set of functions in
that the \fBaddchstr\fR(3XCURSES) functions copy the string as is (without
combining each character with the window rendition or the background character
and rendition.
.SH PARAMETERS
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIstr\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 7n
Is a pointer to the character string that is to be written to the window.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIn\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 7n
Is the maximum number of characters to be copied from \fIstr\fR. If \fIn\fR is
less than 0, the entire string is written or as much of it as fits on the line.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIy\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 7n
Is the y (row) coordinate of the starting position of \fIstr\fR in the window.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIx\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 7n
Is the x (column) coordinate of the starting position of \fIstr\fR in  the
window.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fIwin\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 7n
Is a pointer to the window in which the string is to be written.

.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
On success, these functions return \fBOK\fR. Otherwise, they return \fBERR\fR.
